#1 - I work one-on-one with individual families providing information, referrals to help them access services, and coordination to help eliminate service duplication.
So when I talk to a family member I might help by:
- Telling them about available resources that fit the family's needs.
- By providing a Garfield county resource guide of available services and supports.
- Offering assistance as they complete application forms or prepare for meetings with service providers.
- Providing written information about their child's diagnosis or a behavior/symptom they are struggling with related to his/her condition.
- Providing materials and guidance to create a Care Notebook for health/education information.
- Providing contact and eligibility information for support programs such as the Respite Voucher System, Medicaid, Sooner Start, TEFRA, etc.
If you live in Garfield County, Oklahoma and are raising a child (0-21) with developmental disabilities, a chronic health condition, an emotional or behavioral condition, or consider your child "at risk", contact Lisa at Sooner SUCCESS for assistance. You can reach me at 603-1580.
